Reference Modules – The Future of Reference Publishing

In the increasingly competitive world of Science and Technology, researchers, academics and scientists are required to push themselves further than ever before. To succeed they must break boundaries and solve complex problems where solutions often transcend the scope of a single discipline. To achieve this interdisciplinary research, they are required to have the knowledge and understanding across a diverse range of disciplines, often far beyond their own area of expertise. This is a demanding challenge as the research process to gain this foundational knowledge is time-consuming and can be frustrating as many resources such as the search engines and wikis are often unreliable and uncitable or out-of-date. However Elsevier has provided an innovative solution to this problem: Reference Modules.
